Two fingers on the back of the bat

Strokes

Ankesh Kumar Asked 14 years ago

My hand are a trifle small so i use my index as well as my middle finger in the shake hand grip for extra stability

Is this wrong and should i completely alter my style and start from scratch?

Hi Ankesh,

It is better to only use the one finger on the back of the bat. When you use two you limit the use of your wrist. Try it with one finger. You will feel like you are losing some control but you will get used to it.

how do you counter a fast serve placed in the forehand region placed deep(near the corner) and having side spin

Like with all long serves the best option is to topspin the ball. If you get a good contact with your topspin you will be able to negate the spin on the serve.
